MBH-MBE STAGE 8

MBH-MBE Stages 6-8 examines Education in Brisbane’s History, both in the sense of formal school education and informal education of various kinds. Stage 7, published in July 2019 and available here, looks at the Top 100 Brisbane Institutions of Belief, Thinking, Knowledge, Education, and Scholarship from 1859 to 1959.

In the Stage 8 mapping we have the widest consideration of education in Brisbane History from 1859 to 2009; a century and half of learning. What Brisbane residents learn is an enormous question to answer. In a very small part, I attempted an answer in my book No Regrets in the Evening of Life (2015).

Digital mapping here is the resource to provide many answers to another question: How are we to understand what Brisbane resident learnt from the landscape of their education – landscape in terms of both the physical and cultural geography.

Landscapes change over time and the filtering function will show how education changed in Brisbane over the epochs.

Readers are advised that the project research is ongoing and further additions and editing will occur. Please contact Dr Neville Buch if any information or format raises any concerns for you.

DISCLAIMER

The information contained on this website was researched using the information that was available in 2019. It is, therefore, subject to future amendments should new sources become accessible during the next 12 months to end of December 2020.

The Coopers Plains Local History Group Inc., as a sponsoring member of the Brisbane Southside History Network, had been granted $22,000 in one of the 2016-2017 Brisbane Community History Grants, from the Brisbane City Council’s Brisbane History Grants Program.

The funding and the work of three MBH team members over the next twelve months has produced in one year, 1,000+ heritage and lost Brisbane sites marked and described within 200 words each, thus an asset of possibly 200,000 words professionally researched of Brisbane localities in the form of online historical geography.

The Brisbane Southside History Network wishes to gratefully acknowledge the investment in the Mapping Brisbane History Project from the Brisbane City Council through three Community History Grants, 2012-2013, and 2015-2016, and 2017-2018.
